OOG

Obligatory OOG thread.

Thanks for the kind invite, looking forward to our game. :)

Same, glad to be here!

Thank you. Let's have some fun.

Man I've been itching to run this one again with a new group of people. This is going to be great!

Since we are a remote village are we rolling for money or just using starting equipment?

What is a good artic monster for favored enemy?

My charger for my laptop is on the fritz. I might be out for a couple of days until I get a new one.

Gold is still traded as currency between you all and the outside world and the three villages in the area, so it still has value.
Mostly you'll have dealth with beasts like wolves or are you asking about monsters specifically?
No problem. I think it'll take most of the weekend and Monday or Tuesday to get everyone's characters plugged in. You have some time, friend.

My charger will be here tomorrow. I picked Ogres and Bugbears. Their terrain is wilderness so any.

So we are rolling for starting gold in the handbook then?

Go for it!

Is it that specific? I thought it was types like "aberration" or "beast"?

It’s either a singular type or two humanoid races.

They are both considered humanoid and I figured mountains and wilderness these would be two good picks.

Are we rolling our background traits Or picking them?

Feel free to pick.

Alright, we're full up with our five PCs.

Man, I am so excited. 😄

Hey all! Glad to be joining you!

Welcome aboard!

@Raddue Do you mind allowing permission for us to add characters to our game, using the Custom (D&D 5e) sheets please? They’re just a lot more interactive and easier to use. Unless you don’t want us using them specifically.
Much obliged.

Sure thing. I updated the game, let me know if it worked. This is my first time running a game on this site.

Yep, all good!

Seeing as we are in the far north I was thinking a white drgonborn would be fun to play with and be a rogue(scout) and might take a level in sorcerer(shadow or dragon)

This seems perfect to me!

Side note: Raven Queen Warlocks enter the subclass at level 1.

Sorry for the late character sheet submission. I had technical issues today (which I explained to the Gam earlier).

Odin has been submitted, though purchases haven't been done yet. I figured submitting what I have done would at least allow me to start posting once approved, and then I could worry about purchases in the next day or two.

No problem! I went ahead and approved ya.

A reminder that I do not expect anyone to play over the weekend. If you want to, feel free, but there is no requirement or expectation for it.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Testing some map stuff:

Pretty cool

does the Winterlight Lantern required its light to carry the thermal effect or does that persist even when covered?

You can place it down with the hood off and it will act as a small camp fire, it does not need to be carried. However, it is only warm to be touch and cannot light anything on fire.

The magic fades to a very soft warmth when hooded.

well, the downfalls of a provincial trouble maker not getting any decent wilderness training. He focuses on the con and grifting vs actual awareness. Sorry if I just killed us all :)

Only one way to find out!

Dammit Kish, stop brooding about your family issues and focus! Don't you know there's wolves everywhere! ;)

Wolves!? Who said anything about wolves?

so I have mommy issues. Bring it up with her for letting the runt live vs finishing it off like any true dragon would do :P

wait . . . no one said anything about wolves. I'm out . . .


Oh, did I forget to mention Kish is not watching from the camp but up a nearby tree . .

lol

How are we handling diagonal distances? 7.5' or 5/10/5 ?

In 5th edition they're all 5', even moving diagonally. This is known to cause math nerds to lose their collective shit. 🤣

Nothing like the Pack Tactics creatures gettiong natural 20's on their initiative rolls while ya'll are rolling like wet noodles. 🪦

...

God, I hate it when I'm right...
Holy.... those are some fast wolves. Guess I'll start rolling up my next character before going to bed 😅

Never fear, two feather weights to the rescue, right after those big nasties. We hates them

Ready to lead the charge Nelie? You go girl! :)

You got it! Nelie's got stern words and a pan flute, those wolves won't know what hit them! :)

Taking time off due to real life.

Sure man, let us know how much time you need and good luck. Thanks for letting us know.
